This is the first stab at the first piece in a series I began spontaneously working on today. In other words, I'm now three levels deep in the winding, sinuous labyrinth I call life as an attention deficit designer.
I totally came up with "attention deficit designer" on the spot, by the way. That's cleverness that verges on the mathematical.
Anyway, the body count is getting a little worrisome: the time travel project is on hold to design a typeface which is now itself on hold so I can crank out whatever this new thing is. Yikes. And I haven't so much as touched my Harry Potter/Sex and the City crossover fan fiction novel in months! God, I can't even remember if I was planning on making Samantha a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff.
What I'm trying to say is that I need a personal assistant. Do they make robots for that yet?

Pavement Loop, my new 9-piece series, is done and online. This collection was probably the easiest I've ever done, but it's already one of my favorites. There's something very pure and direct about each piece; the visuals "speak to me" on a level that the rest of my work just hasn't thus far.
I'd like to apologize for the suffocating pomposity of that last sentence. It's true, though, so whatevs.
This is now the third series to preempt my ongoing time travel project, to which I think I can finally recommit myself full-time. I promise to stop being so vague and mysterious about it—intentional as it may be—as I get more of it put together in the coming weeks. I must say, however, it's an extremely cool idea, so I'm really excited to share it.
Also, I've been getting more and more requests for prints since releasing The Imprint, so I'll be working on getting a store online sooner than later.
Lastly, I want to say thanks for all the wonderful feedback and support I've been getting from people in the last couple months. I really do appreciate it all, and hope to keep hearing from you. In particular, I'd like to give some Twitter shoutouts to kmpatenaude, paulfia, funkyrobot and strajaPKSRBIJA, just a few of the people who've had particularly sweet things to say as of late. Thanks so much, guys!

I'm probably gonna be tweaking the hell out of this one until the day I upload the entire series (and well beyond that, I'm sure), but here's the next finished piece in the Pavement Loop series. I was originally going in a different direction with it when I started, but the idea of layered circles partially outlined by the roads popped up and really interested me.

As promised, here's the next piece in the Pavement Loop series. I really love the contrast between the more or less realistic depiction of the freeway elements and the utterly flat red forms. Pitting the tangible against the surreal is perhaps the most compelling part of digital art for me, and this series is all about exploring that concept.
I should still be on track to have the entire series done by this weekend, which would certainly be a new record for me.

Here's the first piece from Pavement Loop, a new print series I'm about halfway done with. The theme this time around is an ultra abstracted interpretation of freeway travel, with each piece contrasting grime-laden paved surfaces with intangible shapes and colors.
I plan on posting new pieces from the series as I work, as opposed to my usual habit of keeping everything under lock and key until it's all finished. Three pieces are done as I type this, so I should have enough momentum to post a new piece each day, with an estimated completion date for everything set somewhere around next weekend.

Check out The Imprint, the latest in a growing series of prints I'm working on instead of the much larger time travel project I keep mysteriously talking about. I started work on this one a couple weeks ago after finding myself suddenly enamored with the idea of colored stripes or shapes being "projected" across arbitrary surfaces, expecting to spend no more than a few days on it. Of course, as is always the case, those "few days" quickly multiplied. I'm rather happy with the results, however, so I suppose I shouldn't complain.

Check it out! I've posted a new series of 10 experimental type pieces.

More highly mysterious cropped images from the new series. I'm very gradually closing in on the halfway point, and hope to be nearly done(-ish) by the end of next weekend(-ish).
